“Thank you very much for you regular Happiness Tips emails – they are wonderful! Life can be so busy for us all, and it’s very important for each of us to be grateful and to focus on positive aspects of our life instead of the all too easy negative occurrences.”

Mark, Sunnyvale, CA

“I “prescribe” your book to all of my clients! When parents start Happiness Habits from day one, they are confident that they are creating a family that will be healthy and happy for years to come.”

“Raising Happiness transformed me and my family. It’s the only parenting book that I refer to time after time — and I’m a book worm. The small changes we’ve made have been fabulous (profound) for me and my husband.”

Caroline, mother of two, Virginia

“Wow. I have never really participated in an online community like this, and I have to say it is incredibly inspirational. I feel honored to be in the company of such honest, thoughtful, self-aware people.”

Lisa, mother of two, Madison, Wisconsin

“Since giving birth to our first daughter my wife has brought home a trove of books, videos and pamphlets purporting to help me be a better parent. None were worthy of my time nor space on my bookshelf until Christine Carter.

She is smart, witty and real. And she knows her stuff. Her tips and practices not only help me be a better parent but a happier person too. And a happier Daddy makes for a happier family. Trust me.”

“Thanks so much for sharing your parenting tips. Your work has made a positive impact on me and my family in more ways than you can imagine.”

“When you are living in your sweet spot you feel both calm and energetic, accomplished and joyful, strong and at ease.
Dr. Christine Carter’s The Sweet Spot illuminates the simple and sustainable path toward this precious and happy balance.”

“The Sweet Spot has inspired me to make immediate changes that have increased my productivity and lowered my stress. I’ve also shared Dr. Carter’s research-backed ideas with my executive coaching clients—men and women eager to up their game—and I know it will help them manage their teams to better results, too.”

“I sat down to read Christine Carter’s The Sweet Spot on a particularly busy day, and oddly found that as I read, I could see a better way through obligations. In other words, this book did something I thought was impossible: it seemed to give me more time. In this age of overstuffed schedules, that’s about as good as self-help advice can get. Thank you, Christine!”

“You can read stacks of the best books on stress management and well-being, sign up for classes about resiliency and hire a personal coach to help you find true happiness or you can just pick up a copy of The Sweet Spot. Refreshing, timely and inspiring, it will help you experience a new way of being: calm, energized and free to focus on what really matters most.”

Renee Peterson Trudeau, life balance coach and author of The Mother’s Guide to Self-Renewal: How to Reclaim, Rejuvenate and Re-Balance Your Life

“Timely, lively, and vital... The Sweet Spot is useful immediately and a must read. Carter gets to the heart of how to pursue happiness in a busy world, without sacrificing excellence. This book spoke to me.”

“If it isn’t hard it isn’t work, right? Carter turns this assumption on its head by showing us how to be stronger and make life easier, both through her own experience and new research. The Sweet Spot is worth finding, and she teaches us how.”

“Funny, intimately honest, and so practical—Dr. Carter pulls pure gold out of studies on the brain and happiness. Her book reads like a page-turning thriller full of proven ways to have the life you want.”

Rick Hanson, Ph.D., author of Hardwiring Happiness: The New Brain Science of Calm, Contentment, and Confidence

“My copy of Christine Carter’s The Sweet Spot is underlined, scribbled on, and dog-eared because of all the pages I want to come back to. Filled with evidence-based research, helpful, practical advice and her own warm, generous and funny stories, The Sweet Spot is a gift, like a good friend drawing a personal roadmap out of the crazy busy swirl of our overloaded lives toward the sweet spot of a happier and more meaningful one.”

Brigid Schulte, author of Overwhelmed: Work, Love and Play when No One has the Time, and Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post staff writer

“In this compelling and practical book, you will learn not only the latest research about how to wire your brain and body for your sweet spot, you will learn exactly how to use this information right now to create a much sweeter life!”

“I have a rich and full life, but I sometimes find myself bowled over by the waves of everyday life. Reading this book is like being given a surfboard and surfing lessons. It is full to the brim with research-based tips and tricks for living in flow. Adopting even a few of them will profoundly improve your quality of life.”

Cassandra Vieten, Ph.D., President and CEO, Institute of Noetic Sciences, coauthor of Living Deeply: The Art and Science of Transformation in Everyday Life.

“Finally, the author of my favorite book on parenting has written a book on work-life balance. Christine Carter has once again created the perfect blend of science and story, to give us practical tools for combating the overwhelm that seems to pervade modern life.”

“Christine offers "micro-habits" that help us move from overworked and overwrought into genuine relaxation and satisfaction. The Sweet Spot teaches us how to be calm and focused/energized at the same time.”
